It turned out that he had been discharged from the hospital a long time ago.
Since there is a doctor at home, she doesn't need to worry.
That's right, no matter if his friends are from the Tang family or the Fu family, every one of them is an expert. Why should she worry about such a small problem
Shu Nian suppressed his worry and returned to his father's ward.
"I was worried because you left without an umbrella." Aunt Gui wiped her hair with a dry towel. "Go change your clothes and I'll dry them for you. It's going to be autumn soon, don't let the moisture get in your clothes."
"Yeah." Shu Nian took out a white shirt from the cupboard and went to the bathroom in the ward to change into it.
Aunt Gui was drying her clothes while asking, "Where's Mu Yang? He's been here these past few days, why is he gone tonight?"
"Maybe I'm busy."
"Didn't you call to show your concern?"
"He's so busy, I won't call him."
Aunt Gui looked at her and knew that she was not in a good mood, but she still advised: "Niannian, you can't be stubborn in this marriage. It is still necessary to show your concern occasionally."
Shu Nian pursed his lips and opened the book, "Aunt Gui, I understand. Don't worry about me."
"How can I not worry? You treat me like your own daughter." Aunt Gui sighed, "You and your father, both of you are worry-free."
Shu Nian glanced at Aunt Gui with a smile, and looking at her busy back, he couldn't help but sigh: "Aunt Gui, it would be great if you were really my mother. However, my father and I probably don't have that blessing."
When mentioning his mother, Shu Nian felt a little sad and his eyes dimmed a little.
Aunt Gui was stunned for a moment, a hint of discomfort flashed across her face, and then she smiled, "You are just a kid, you are talking nonsense."
Shu Nian smiled, lowered his head and continued reading.
At this moment, the cell phone rang briefly. Shu Nian put down the book in his hand and picked up the cell phone. A message flashed on the screen.
From an unknown number.
She clicked it and a photo popped up on the screen.
Shu Nian was stunned.
The photo was very messy. The man's shirt and the woman's pajamas were thrown together. There were also the woman's lace panties and the man's underwear. Shu Nian recognized the man's shirt, which was the one Xiang Muyang wore tonight. There was an 'X' embroidered on the cuff, which was unique to him.
Under the photo, there is a line of provocative words.
"Shu Nian, you probably haven't even seen your husband's underwear, right? Is such a marriage really interesting?"
Shu Nian smiled.
What a funny and ridiculous trick.
She could have replied in a letter, but she was too disdainful to type a few more words for such a provocation. She couldn't do it just to be jealous of Mu Yang and another woman.
"What's wrong? What information took you so long to look at?" Aunt Gui saw that she looked strange and couldn't help asking another question.
Shu Nian didn't want to make Aunt Gui worry about him, so he just shook his head and deleted the message as if nothing had happened.
"It's Mu Yang. He said he's busy with social events and won't be coming over tonight."
"Look how busy he is on weekdays, and he's still socializing so late. In the future, you have to pay more attention to him. Got it?"
"Yes, of course." Shu Nian agreed. He was busy, but he was busy entertaining women.
Shu Nian turned his gaze back to the book, feeling fortunate that he had never really held out any hope for him, so that he would not be disappointed again.

night.
It was pitch black outside and the rain hardly stopped all night.
Shu Dafu and Aunt Gui were both asleep, and Shu Nian was reading a book alone. In the quiet atmosphere, he could only hear the sound of rain outside the window. It was already very late at night, but Shu Nian was not sleepy at all.
It was at this moment that her cell phone rang.
In the quiet atmosphere, the ringtone sounded sharp and abrupt. Shu Nian was startled, and almost immediately turned off the sound for fear of disturbing the couple inside. He took the phone and saw a strange number flashing on the screen.
She pondered for a moment and frowned slightly.
Could it be a provocative call from Ning Meng? However, this number did not seem to be the same as before.
After thinking about it, Shu Nian got up and walked out. He answered the phone after closing the door.
"Shu Nian?"
"It's me. Who are you?" Shu Nian was not sure if he knew the other person.
"I'm Tang Jifeng. We've met before."
“…Oh.” Shu Nian remembered that he had seen him once before in Ye Yan’s ward.
but…
"You have something to talk to me about so late?"
"Where are you? I'm coming to find you."
Shu Nian was confused by the incoherent words, "Mr. Tang, you want to talk to me about something."
"You have the key to Ye Yan's apartment in Yunting Waterside, right? He's alone in there, and no one answered me when I called the door." Tang Jifeng was a little impatient. He had originally scheduled a video conference with a client at 9pm with Ye Yan, but Ye Yan said he wanted to take a nap in Yunting Waterside. And then, nothing happened. How could Tang Jifeng not be annoyed? "This guy, I guess he's sleeping like a dead pig. But he wasn't someone you couldn't wake up like before."
When Shu Nian heard this, his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
"I'm in the hospital now. I'll bring the key to you."
"No, it's not safe for a girl to go out alone at this late hour. Besides, I'll drive, which is faster. You just need to wait at the hospital entrance." Tang Jifeng has always been a gentleman, so how could he let a girl walk outside at night? What's more, it was raining so hard outside.
He said a few words and hung up the phone regardless of whether Shu Nian would see him off or not.
Shu Nian held the phone and stood in the corridor for half a minute. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. The anxiety that had been lingering in her heart for half the night finally burst out at this moment. She turned back to the ward, hurriedly took out the key to the Yunting Waterside Pavilion from her bag, and hurried out again.
———
Shu Nian stood at the hospital entrance, waiting and looking from afar. It was only a few minutes, but it felt like a long time.
Until a sports car drove over and stopped in the rain. Tang Jifeng pushed the door and got out of the car. He wanted to go over to get the key, but Shu Nian had already rushed into the rain.
"Why did you come down? It's raining so hard, I can just go and get it."
"I'll go with you." Shu Nian handed him the keys and got into the car without caring what Tang Jifeng said.
Tang Jifeng was stunned for a moment and returned to the driver's seat. Shu Nian didn't care about the rain on her body and grabbed the seat belt and buckled it. Tang Jifeng started the car and looked at her, "You seem very nervous."
"How long have you been calling him, and there's no response from inside?" Shu Nian didn't answer, but just asked.
"It will take a while."
"Are you sure he's in there?"
"His cell phone was ringing in the room, and no one answered it for a long time."
Shu Nian's face tensed up a little more, and he glanced at Tang Jifeng, "Can you please drive faster?"
